Each penance has its own set of rewards. I learned the hard way that in this mode, while the Immaculate Bead does prevent you from getting guilt, you do NOT retain your souls and have no way to recover them if you die with it. Normally, whenever you die on this penitence, you leave all your tears of atonement as a Guilt Fragment at the place you died at (Dark Souls style), but if you die with the Immaculate Bead equipped, said Guilt Fragment doesn't appear, thus ripping you off every tear you had, which is unfair. Bile Flasks do not heal you, but instead refill your Fervour. This is most useful in the overworld, where you have to be especially careful not to die because you get gimped very badly by full guilt immediately, and because if you die twice you lose all your souls.

Not strictly related to this mode but something to note: Okay so I finished Penitence of True Guilt, and again the rosary bead reward did not appear in my inventory afterwards. Regret overcomes you. Once you've mastered this, though, most boss fights become relatively easy. Instead, you are going to want to make use of the Heart of Smoking Incense, which not only jacks up your prayer effectiveness, but significantly increases the damage of Ferverous Blood attacks (I really, really wish someone had told me this before I had completed 2/3 of my run.) It actually balances the game pretty well. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. As you gain Health Orbs, though this ratio decreases markedly - you can immediately improve your early game by equipping the Large Bead or Red Wax for an entire extra Health Orb, reducing hits to a quarter of your total health. Much like the three penitences, besting the Amanecidas and their master will earn the Penitent One powerful gifts. (Having the Large Bead of Red Wax can be helpful here to offset your reduced healing capability.) You can enjoy the increased speed after dodging and not worry about taking more damage. Bile Flasks will replenish multiple orbs over time.

It's also the only Penitence which encourages you to play different, not just "better".

Your Guilt Level reaches the maximum once you fall in battle. Valve Corporation. Damn, despite of the punishing downside if you died nor you can't heal, the upside of this penitence is just so overwhelming when it comes to boss battles.

Penitence of the Bleeding Heart: Your health becomes based on hits rather than a bar, starting at 3 and capping at 9 (10 with red wax). 2. It's much more valuable to have lots of flasks to activate your lightning attacks, and because of your fervor regen (and the fact that you can ignore defense buffs and debuffs, giving you more bead flexibility and making the +damage sword heart have no downside) you heal yourself much more efficiently by going purely on offense with the lifestealing Prayer.
